Seriously, without resorting to the bullshit that SOME people on here have to, I have no problem saying this about your Blazers:
If kept intact, and with small additions (and get rid of Miles, he's shit), the Blazers have a very talented young bunch who could accomplish real good things. I think they need a veteran star, somebody with playoff experience, and I'm not talking about someone like Lamar Odom or Gary Payton; someone along the lines of maybe...well, shit, if they had landed Ray Allen, for example...or Pierce...
I just don't see this team staying together...it's all politics (money) in pro sports; these guys will want to be paid.
Back to the topic at hand (Celtics), I don't see them, personally, as a better team than a.) Detroit, b.) Chicago, or c.) Cleveland, in the East. The Cavs, maybe...but I don't know. I think it's waaaaaaaay too early to tell; I'm looking forward to this season.
